    You should talk to a lawyer, asking for help won't hurt.

    Not knowing where the spouse is should not be a major problem- your co-parent (for lack of a better word) merely needs to file for divorce and serve the petition (with a court order typically to authorize it) by publication in the locality in which the spouse last lived. Then the matter can proceed by default. Not a big deal.

    In California (where I practice family law), the spouse (your co-parent's hubby) is a presumed father of your children (surprise!) so I hope you signed a voluntary declaration of paternity (or whatever they are called in Florida) when the children were born.
